My Vision

Thank you for electing me as your next District 2 Doraville City Council Member. When in office, I plan to focus on the following:

Improving the city’s zoning and permitting processes in order to (1) attract more residents, (2) make it easier for businesses catering to those residents to open (3) encourage companies moving to Metro Atlanta to choose our city as their location.

Updating the city’s codes so that they are easily enforceable and understood – by both homeowners and businesses, as well as by enforcement officers.

Clamping down on unscrupulous landlords who allow their properties to fall into disrepair, allow unsafe living conditions to develop, and who do not pay their fair share of taxes.

Integrating new developments like Assembly (on the old GM site) and Nexus (located just outside the perimeter) into our city.

Partnering with Chamblee, Brookhaven and Dunwoody to ensure that Doraville is an active and valued participant in the “Gateway Partnership” initiative.

Thanks for your support in the recent election – I’m looking forward to serving you as one of your newest council members.
